ok, i know this is stupid, but i have been signing up for plenty of webdev forums, all of which heavily tuned up my skills. however, to my dismay, this only applies to that of client-side scripting. so now that i get into php and mysql, i started to ask people how to create a login management system, and every time i do so, i always get at least 15 replies saying "search google!.." or "have you searched this forum yet?.." or something of the same sarcastic context. now, if i was asking people here at the forums, do you honestly believe that i hadnt searched google or any of the several forums im signed up for before i go and ask for help? the thing is, i need some type of human interaction for guidance, which is why i love w3schools.com(no actual human interaction, but examples that emulate such interaction). so im gonna ask now: can any of you guide(not give) me through making a php/mysql based login and user management system?
thanx for reading so much
Have you searched Google or this forum yet? :D
Hehe, all right, seriously then, I see your point. I'm willing to help you out with it, since you seem very interested in learning, and I do not want to put a stop on your potential. Could you provide a bit more detail on what you mean by "login user management system"? I realize, of course, that a user will login and have some sort of "control panel," but what exactly will be put into it?

thank you very much...many people just love to say i dont have the time or such like that. anyways, what i need to accomplish here is to create a login system, which you already know. heres the part that includes all of the details:
ok, first off, i need it to keep track of
a)user emails, names, ages, etcetc
b)user preferences[color schemes and such; im thinking this would just use cookies]
c)users tutorials and lesson progression[the last lesson the user read before leaving the site previously; also maybe done using cookies]
d)users quiz/test scores
e)[optional]users profile
now, i do realize such is quite big and a tad too specific as ive received replies stating such in previous attempts for some attention to address my conflict....but i guess, for now, all im gonna need is a way for users to access their own unique control panel, and gradually, ill progress onto the other stuff
thanx again for your courteousness
Will there be subscription forms, or will it just be a "one-user-only" sort of thing?

Hye there,
I am attaching my email address so we can communicate with a modicum of privacy. I think I may able to be a mentor.

One thing I must recommend would be starting off with a bit smaller of a project, if you are just learning PHP/mySQL. I'd learn PHP first, and then move on to mySQL, as you will need to know a bit of PHP before mySQL will do you any good. Do a few demo projects, just to learn the language -- a simple counter, etc...
